SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,005, dated October 5, 1880. Application filed August 15, "LTQ,

To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, STEPHEN S. NEWTON, of Binghamton, in the county ot' Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oiler-Nozzles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot' the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the aecompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ot' this specification.

This invention relates to the construction of an oiler-nozzle having at its lower end a reduced tubular extension or neck, which is closed at its lower extremity by a cap, in combination with a supporting thimble or socket, the construction and arrangement of parts being such that whether the opening` through which oil passes from the can into the nozzle be opened or closed there is a tight joint formed betwen the nozzle and its supportingsocket in such manner as to prevent the escape of oil from the can around the outside of the nozzle, as will be hereinafter fully explained.

ln the drawing, which is a vertical section of an oil-can having my invention applied thereto, A represents the body of the can. B is the nozzle, tapering in form, and provided at vits lower end with a reduced tubular extension or neck, B2, the lower end of which is closed by a plate or ca-p, B. The neck B2 is provided with one or more ports, Z), through which oil passes from the can to the interior ofthe nozzle.

O is a supporting thimble or socket, secured to the neck ofthe can in any desired manner, although I prefer the construction shown, in which the socket is provided with a dependin g flange which is screw-threaded internally and engages with a corresponding external thread on the neck A ot' the can. The lower part of the socket O is closed, except. that it is provided with a central seat, c', within which lits and slides the tubular extension B2 of the nozzle, the lower end of this part ofthe nozzle being screwthreaded externally to engage with an internal thread of the socket C, so that by turning the nozzle in one direction or the other it rises or falls within the socket.

' In the position shown in the drawing, the tubular extension B2 is projected so far into the can that oil can readily pass through the ports b, and in this position the space between the shoulder b2 and the bottom ot' the socket is packed by a washer, D', so that no oil can pass from the can around the lower end of the nozzle, and thence out between the screwthreads of the nozzle and the socket.

Under some circumstances the packingwasher D may be dispensed with, and the shoulder b2 made to tit so closely the bottoni of the socket O as to prevent leakage of oil at that point, which would be likely to occur were it not for the shoulder and the packing-washer D, owing to the fact that when cheaply made the en gaging-threads are very apt to be imperfect.

By preference I employ a drip-cup, C', in combination with the socket O, to collect such oil asv passes down the outside ot' the nozzle and conduct it to the drip-ports b', which, as will be readily understood, are opened when the nozzle is screwed upward, so as to withdraw the ports b within the socket, and thus prevent oil from passing from the can into the nozzle, and when the ports are thus closed lthe washer D packs the space between the projecting flange of the cap B and the adjacent portion ot the socket C, and eii'ectually prevents leakage at that point.

In an oiler-nozzle, the combination, with a screw-threaded supporting-socket, C, having an opening in the bottom, of the tip B, provided with the tubular extension B2, having ports b therein, and the flange B', either with or without the washers D D', substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
